Chapter 84: The Invisible Truth
Gao Cheng felt a little hurt, he was obviously standing in front of everyone, but he couldn't make a sound, now he is a "ghost", and if he is really exposed, there will be a big mess.
I'm afraid no one would have thought that it was he who made the old monk turn himself in and prevented a case from happening, if it weren't for him, what everyone saw today might be the old monk's body......
As the sun gradually sets, the police finally conclude their investigation, and finally determine through various signs that the incredible method described by Xiu Nian is actually feasible.
Gao Cheng followed Mori Kogoro and prepared to leave together, but Conan still looked at the temple and did not move.
"We're leaving, Conan." Xiaolan urged.
"But Sister Xiaolan, the abbot last night was really strange," Conan asked Xiu Nian with an innocent look, "Master Xiu Nian, you went to the abbot's room last night, and did he decide to turn himself in at that time?" ”
"This ......" Xiu Nian hesitated, "Actually, at that time, the master said that he didn't want to turn himself in, he said that two years have passed and there is no evidence......
"And then?" Conan asked, "Do you know what happened next?" ”
Xiu Nian was a little nervous: "I left after Master got drunk...... What's wrong? ”
"Because at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, I saw that the waiter in the abbot's room was still lit, and he seemed to be afraid of something......"
"That's it! Stinky boy," Maori said with a black face as he mentioned Conan, "I think eighty percent of him has a ghost in his heart, and after the matter is leaked, he is worried that I, a famous detective, will solve the case!" ”
The corners of Conan's mouth twitched, he found a foggy dog mask in the toilet today, and it was the mask that the uncle saw in the middle of the night, as for the statement that it was floating in the air, it was normal to see it wrong at night, and it should be someone wearing a mask at that time.
Mu Du sighed: "If it weren't for Abbot Tianyong's surrender, I'm afraid this case would never have been overturned, Maori, it's really time for you to come." ”
"That's, haha," Mori Kogoro said triumphantly, "as long as my detective Mori Kogoro is there, the case can be solved easily!" ”
Twilight wiped a cold sweat, this guy really dared to say it, but this time it seemed that it could only be thought to be related to Maori.
"By the way, Officer Twilight," Kogoro Maori asked, pleading, "I'm sorry for what I just said......"
"I know," Twilight said helplessly, "I'll take you back in a police car, right?" Give me the keys to the car you had with a flat tire in the woods, and I'll send someone to take care of it for you later. ”
"Ahh Maori said happily, "Thank you so much, Officer Twilight, you are worthy of being an old friend for many years......"
Twilight muttered as she took the car keys, "I'm for the sake of your recent help, okay, let's get in the car and go." ”
Gao Cheng looked back at the ancient temple in the afterglow of the sunset, and there was a faint sound of waterfall flowing on the other side.
This case was different from the previous ones, and it was the only time he prevented the incident from happening in advance, but fortunately, the system did not invalidate the released information, and still refreshed the redeemable option for him when the police finished the investigation.
Just like last time, there are 5 redeemable options after the deposit, and there are more "Kiritiangu incidents" in the convertible case, and because it is in a disguised card state, the exchange will not have any impact.
Gao Cheng temporarily put away the system light curtain, withdrew his gaze from the temple, and turned to follow Mori Kogoro away.
At this time, Xiu Nian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Actually, last night in the master's room, what he said made me lose my mind, and I originally planned to strangle him with a rope...... It's like he strangled my brother two years ago......"
"Huh?" Maori Kogoro and the others were stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiunian unexpectedly.
"Master Xiunian, you ......"
Conan looked puzzled and said, "But did you give up again?" ”
"Yes," Xiunian looked up sadly, "I seemed to hear my brother's voice at that time, maybe my brother's soul is still in this temple, he must not want me to become a murderer......"
Several other monks looked horrified: "Could it be that Master turned himself in because of the ghost of Zhongnian?" ”
"How is that possible?" Conan pursed his lips and muttered to himself, "There can't be ghosts." ”
There won't be any ghosts, but there really seems to be a mysterious shadow in the shadows in this temple, and the truth of the matter may never be known again.
"If only that guy from Joto was there, maybe he could find some clues." Conan frowned.
"Ahem." Gao Cheng almost choked on the side, and vigilantly stayed away from Conan, Conan was too strong, and he would suspect him if he didn't do it.
In the evening, the police car drove out of Mt. Takao with Mori, and Takari hitchhiked as he came.
At this point, he finally had time to carefully sort out his gains.
5 deposit exchange opportunities plus case exchange, a total of 6 times can touch the award, he was not stingy, and directly spent 500,000 yuan to exchange.
Except for one draw, the other 4 times were lucky, one camouflage card and 3 knowledge cards.
"It's the piano again, it's been 3 times...... The car driving is not bad, and the medicine is not bad......"
Gao Cheng watched the cards in the light curtain of the system smash, and he had a lot of experience in his mind, which was equivalent to a year of learning in person.
His learning ability is quite poor, and these cards really help a lot, because even if he doesn't have talent, he can still rely on the knowledge card stacking time to accumulate slowly.
Gao Cheng's attention turned to the only remaining exchange opportunity, but he also silently dedicated it once, so he should make up for himself and have a better character......
"Bang!"
After the redemption is completed, the same knowledge card appears in the light curtain.
This time it's swordsmanship......
Ability cards: Piano (3 years), Computer (1 year), Medicine (2 years), Car Driving (2 years), Swordsmanship (2 years), Voice Change (1 year), Motorcycle Driving (1 year)
Item Cards: Camouflage Cards (2 pieces)
Gao Cheng was stunned and looked at another year of swordsmanship learning.
"Is this good or bad?"
……
In Rice Flower Town, it was already night when I returned to the Joto Detective Office, and the camouflage card effect would disappear in three days, and Gao Cheng would have to return to normal tomorrow.
This time the harvest is not small, the commission fee for investigating the derailment is 1.5 million, and the 6 exchange opportunities that he got after the mud temple incident, the exchange cost of 500,000 is nothing to him now, what is missing is just an opportunity.
It's a pity that you won't have to wait until the next time the system releases the case to regain its chance......
The bakery downstairs of the office has not yet closed, looking at the busy middle-aged couple inside, Gao Cheng can't help but think of the beautiful coffee shop sisters in the past.
At that time, it was his most difficult time, so he would never forget the cup of hot coffee when he came back every night, not to mention the deposit, he couldn't even pay the rent, and his life was like surviving, if it wasn't for the landlord's aunt to take care of him, it is estimated that he would have been living on the streets.
"They should be able to see me on TV and newspapers a lot now, right?"
"Huh?"
Gao Cheng unexpectedly noticed that the lights of the office on the second floor were actually on.
"It's weird, I didn't turn on the lights yesterday morning."
Drifting down the stairs to the second floor, the door to the office was unlocked.
Except for him, the only person who has the key to the office should be the landlord Aunt Jimei......
Gao Cheng was slightly startled, and carefully floated into the office, and found that the originally somewhat messy room had been renovated, as if someone had tidied it up, and the kitchen light was still on, and there was a burst of fragrance wafting from it, and it turned out to be Aunt Jimei who was busy in the kitchen.
"Are you back?" Aunt Jimei heard the door open and walked out of the kitchen with a plate.
"You kid, how can you eat instant noodles every day? Anyway, I should find a girlfriend...... Well? Isn't it? ”
Aunt Jimei looked at the door suspiciously: "Shouldn't you go on a business trip?" ”
